The mess was created and the clean up started before that.
-
Yes, and you realize the cleaning up needs to be done before the next one starts.
-
Makes you wonder how much a guy like Porcello will get.
-
It's always the principal's fault.
-
We have enough back up utility men, already. It's the only position we are overloaded.
-
If the contracts are going to be "brutal," maybe this is the time to pounce. We may be the only team looking to spend large. Maybe there will be a lot of one year deals.
-
Wait, we're going after him?
-
Cora is my top choice by far. -
This makes a lot of sense, especially Zunino.

That would be $6M more added to the spending budget but one more rotation slot to fill.
-
I think the MLB Trade Values site had Perez listed at zero value due to his contract. He had a decent season with us, but if the market is in a serious downturn, he may be a casualty.
-
So, next summer's free-agents-to-be are: Barnes & ERod
-
Speaking of years of team control for 2-3 months of pending free agents... Verdugo still has a pre arb season, then 3 arbs plus Downs and Wong- both at 5+ years. Pivetta (4) and Seabold (5) for Workman & Hembree Potts (5+) & Rosario (5+) for Moreland Wallace (5+) for Pillar Grullon (5+) off waivers
-
Sorry. I meant Seabold. Potts for 3 months of Moreland could work out well, too.
-
YES! Pivetta starts year 1 of 4 arbs, next season. Potts has 5+ years of ML team control. All for 2 months of Workman.

Your detective work is greatly appreciated.

We don't know if analytics had anything to do with Cash's pre-determined decision. We do know he did not allow much flex in the plan. 6 Ks in 6 PAs by the next 3 batters, surely points to the call for adjusting the plan, especially in a 1-0 game. He'll never live down this call, which is too bad, because he must be a pretty good manager to get a team like his that far. -
A very pressing issue is finally resolved. He was #2 on my list even before I knew he had no options. He and Brice are sure as gone. 1. Brice (out of option- may accept minor league role) 2. Stock (out of option- may accept minor league role) 3. Hall 4. Springs 5. Aybar 6. Hart 7. Walden 8. Valdez 9. PEDROIA 10. Chatham 11. Arauz 12. Grullon 13. Wilson

I'd take stock in that!
-
I see that, but on their 40 man roster page, it says 2. https://soxprospects.com/40man.htm
-
Or even 2! When we start signing free agents, that 26th to 27th slot will become a tougher and tougher choice. If Brice is still around, he will likely be the chosen one to be DFA'd.
-
Yes, but I was highlighting the emphasis on longer term help vs maybe just 2021. If one thinks Aybar and Stock have equal chances at "helping the MLB roster," I'd keep Aybar.
-
Agreed, but if it's even, keep the guy with more options. IMO, on this team, the 26th man will be a tougher roster decision than the 40th.
